Lake Powell Fishing Report 5-15-12
Photo: Ryan Mosley and Lowell Marthe, Dutch John UT, caught a mixed bag of species while fishing Lake Powell. Here they hold stripers and walleye but they also caught crappie and smallmouth in abundance. It has been that kind of year at the lake and fishing continues to be excellent for all species. In addition, striper fishing has just improved dramatically this past week.

Lake Powell Fishing Report for May 1st, 2012
Photo Caption: Ray Young, retired fishing guide from Page AZ, caught a 15.4 pound striped bass in Navajo Canyon using a whole anchovy on a slow trolling rig about 2 hours after dark. Stripers are nearing the spawn which makes them active at night and dormant during the day. Trophy fish are more likely to be caught at night during May.

It is worth several passes before you resume trolling for the next school of Read More +

STRIPER FISHING In the Spring freshwater Stripers will start staging the holding pattern mostly by school size. If your catching 1 to 2 pound class fish in the backs of canyons either fish deeper or move out the channel then find the cover and try for larger fish. After the larger fish are caught be prepared for the smaller ones to show up again. Captain Bill
